Day 11: Videoz

I played for a decent amount of time today, but I couldn't really tell you how much. I also didn't eat so well today, so hopefully it balanced out.

Day 11:



AA'd this awesome song (seen in following video; Jessica accidentally ended it early). In the beginning my brother challenged me to play Wonderful Night, since that'd be more "impressive". So..


Woot.

Day 9: JESSICA IS VISITING TOMORROW! :D

Well, today was an extremely busy day. I woke up at 7 and worked from 8:40-3. I got home, and my mom says the bathroom is gross. It was. I cleaned the bathroom from 3 to about 6. I then cleaned my room from 6 to 8. Then I played DDR for about an hour. Then I decided to make this post.

After showering, I did an unofficial weigh in. It may be inaccurate due to the amount of activity and sweating I've done today, but I'm down to 172 regardless. That means in only 1 week and 2 days, I've lost 6 pounds. Not bad.

The goal is still within reach. I hope I can achieve it.

Day 6: Improvement?

Today I have work at 5, so I decided to wake up a little earlier than normal and get 1.5 hours of game play in.

Day 6:
(8 footer) Baby Love Me: A

I was getting a little frustrated today. I checked my weight this morning (even though I probably shouldn't have), and it looks like my weight actually went up a pound since Monday. I was playing extremely poorly when I began today, but once I played this I got back into my groove. I didn't do extremely well, but it's also not a very easy song. So I figured I'd screen shot it.


(9 footer) Afronova RE-VENGE: AA

This wasn't as difficult as I was expecting; I have a ton of Afronova remixes, and this is probably one of the easier of the bunch. Regardless, it's still impressive considering it's a 9 footer.




(9 footer) Breakdown: AA

Ah, Breakdown.. we meet again. I'm pretty proud of this score -- you can even scroll down and compare this one to the screenshot I took of only a few days ago. As I mentioned in my last post, I love replaying songs and seeing how much I have improved. This is just proof that I'm that much closer to my old self. However, I recall being able to AA breakdown on any given day. Bah.


---

Well, I have work in a few hours unfortunately, but tomorrow is pay day! Also, Jessica comes in only 4 days! :D Tomorrow is the second weigh in, but unfortunately I'm not expecting much of a change (which is strange, considering how much I sweat from these sessions).

Day 5: Mixing It Up

Since I don't have work today, I decided to destroy my body.

Day 5:

Dynamite Rave: A

The reason I'm putting this up here, is because on day 1 I played this, and ended up with a low C. Today, I got an A -- and with AA within reach. I like progress I can actually see.








Today I played for a good hour. In between each song, I would do a set of sit-ups or a set of push-ups (alternating by song). This added to the intensity of the whole ordeal -- the dancing wears my stamina out, and I instantly go into another work out. I then rest for about 10 seconds, before jumping on the pad to lose my breath yet again.

Rinse, repeat.

Needless to say, today was a good day -- I sweat maybe even more than when I played with my brother. Part of that is that is because I didn't take any breaks other than doing the side exercises.

Day 4: Recovery

Well, I still have time to get this in. I played for ~40 minutes today, but stopped since I'm a little sore and lacking motivation. I really need to pick it up for tomorrow, since I don't have work.

Not bad if I do say so myself. Today is a day of rest -- after waking at 7 and standing/working till 3, my feet kill. I'll just work double time tomorrow.
